Singapore Identity

The fabric of Singapore is weaved together with the many foreigners who adopted this country as their home. For those searching for the Singapore identity, they will find it in the beautiful diversity and history of the migrants. Singapore is not a plain coloured fabric. She is a textured fabric made of different yarns. 

Today I still hear people referring to some others as not being genuine Singaporeans because the latter were not born here. Somewhere along the way, we had somehow forgotten that many from the Pioneer generation were not born here. We forget that we are a wonderful melting pot - in goes the many exotic ingredients and out comes the most exquisite taste.
